All of the major management professors (Ravetch, Lit, Gardener) have very different teaching styles. I’ve personally had only Gardener and her style of teaching didn’t fit me well at all. But then again, there are people that like her a lot–you can probably tell this from the fact that her bruinwalk reviews are very mixed.

Gardener is kind of funny, tends to joke around a lot in class and seems light-hearted, but I like a more no-nonsense approach. A lot of times throughout the quarter she would say “My 7 year old daughter could learn this” or something like that–sometimes it felt like she was teaching like how she would teach a 7 year old. She also tended to over-simplify a lot of the concepts, which made her tests difficult if you didn’t have any previous accounting background going into the class.
